If the God that you define is internally consistent, that would make "his" existence POSSIBLE. But whether or not this entity actually exists, that would depend on something else.

Well, we are talking about the distinction between necessary existence, and contingent existence...the "god" could be internally consistent, but its existence could be actually false.

Furthermore, we've observed simple RNA evolve into comle, strands, meaning that chemical evolution has been observed. The obvious interpretation is that RNA evolved from precursor molecules ... Perhaps we'll see this in the lab one day.
As far as the "biobabble", it's pretty easy to grasp. You ought to check it out some time.
Finally, it'll be interesting to see the changes in your viewpoint once you apply this apparent thirst for evidence to your own premises.
Cart before the horse fallacy. Where did the amino acids come from?

On what subject? We are talking about lots of subjects mannnn
